This was a great movie! Great actors, a fiery and excellent Glenda Jackson in her heyday, won the Oscar for this role and deservedly so. I still have it on old-fashioned video tape and watch it from time to time. It conveys such wonderful London vibes from the 70s, the nostalgic, classic London, that I love and miss so much 🥲 with the lovely hop-on busses, the old-style black cool taxi cabs, gentlemen still wearing bowler hats, slower pace, so charmingly beautiful, somehow more innocent, certainly more natural and genuine. All that went to waste as well, not only all the loves we lost since then....😢 The perfect song for all these bittersweet and wistful emotions and memories.....💖💕♥💖
This is a wonderful vocal effort (backed by a nice arrangement) by Madeline Bell, who ranks among the most under-rated female vocalist of the late sixties and early 1970s. She did do a considerable amount of backup singing with name pop stars--she's a standout, along with Dusty and Lesley Duncan, on Elton John's Tumbleweed Connection. Her phrasing and direct, powerful voice shine through on this song. Tony Bennet also does a nice version (again, with a nice arrangement) of this song, but it's best by Madeline.
Ironically, I'd just remembered Madeline Bell/Blue Mink earlier this week and d/l some albums - what a beautiful voice, shame we don't see/hear more of her mainstream these days!
Lyrics: We were close to it all Got the rainbows we chase Then we watch the sky fall All that love went to waste (Atlwtw) What we had was the end It could not be erased That's the pity my friend Atlw2w If we only could have guessed That it wouldn't stand the test We would plead it all a guess And have been each other's guest We would smile and walk away While it still...... But now....... rainy day If we held back a bit Every time we embrace Then we might have saved some of it. If we just walk instead of race And just make love instead of haste ... Might never have gone to waste.
Thanks so much. Please, Can you transcribe This other song of this film soundtrack?:. czcams.com/video/iZLvrIq0FX8/video.html My english is bad and I can't understand all.
@@laohara Thank you so much for bringing this sống to my knowledge ❤️ This is one of my favorite, and the first one ever that I spent the time listening and transcribe it. (lol I don't even use the word "transcribe", like, ever. I bet your English is better than mine: there're still some words missing. You're just being humble.) I'll take my time to listen to it. You can always refer to google though. Thank you, once again.

I get the chills when I listen to this fantastic song..
And remember that heartbreaking ending..
A top ten favorite pic.
RIP George..♡♡♡
"A Touch of Class" is one of my favorite movies, also.
They don't much make songs like this anymore.
The movie is marvelous.
I still think this deserved the Academy Award for Best Song, despite "The Way We Were."
I agree, but the Academy Awards almost always award very middle of the road songs. I'm not at all surprised the Way We Were won over this.
Great upload. Nice to know other folks also remember fine things like this.
I have never thought that this song would describe my love life 😢💖😢

The tragic love song!
Classic. ..

Prior to your post, I had never heard of Madeline Bell. Just finished reading a little about her. Thanks for the info!
Lyrics:
We were close to it all
Got the rainbows we chase
Then we watch the sky fall
All that love went to waste (Atlwtw)
What we had was the end
It could not be erased
That's the pity my friend
Atlw2w
If we only could have guessed
That it wouldn't stand the test
We would plead it all a guess
And have been each other's guest
We would smile and walk away
While it still......
But now....... rainy day
If we held back a bit
Every time we embrace
Then we might have saved some of it.
If we just walk instead of race
And just make love instead of haste
...
Might never have gone to waste.

@@ngocuyenngo3083 A pleausure ♥️. Thanks! I love this song too.
Thank you 😊 💓
Some broken hearts never mend they just smile and wave to the very end 💔
All that love went to waste. Maybe, better to have loved and lost, than not to have loved at all.
You're welcome. She still records from time to time, and she's almost 70 years old. Her major hit was "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" in 1968.
It wasn't Dusty Springfield who sung it, but her longtime friend Madeline Bell.
An excellent movie, and a great song. Shirley Bassey sang it better, but I think Dusty's version was better suited to the the movie.
